One measurement is taken in each cardinal direction—for four total measurements—of the maximum height off the ground at-which vegetation totally obstructs the view of the monitor. These measurements are then averaged to provide one reading per sample point. The measurements are taken along a 200-meter transect. Measurements are taken every 20 meters along the transect, for a total of 11 measurements for each transect. This dataset depicts the start and end points of these transects. Monitoring is performed annually.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
